This pattern is for a simple and elegant shawl that features lovely lace stripes. The shawl is worked from the top down, beginning with a garter stitch tab. This shawl is easy to customize, and after beginning the stockinette portion you could begin working the lace stripes as early or as late as you would like. You can also choose to make the lace or stockinette stripes larger, or work more or less stripes.

Any lace, fingering, sport, or DK weight yarn can be used for this shawl. The size and amount of yarn will vary according to the weight and quantity of yarn used.

We all have that one skein of sock yarn that we got on a yarn crawl, giveaway, or just because it had to come home with us. These precious skeins are too beautiful to be hidden in a pair of shoes, and deserve a little spotlight. This simple accessory can be knit either as a cowl or an infinity scarf with just one skein of that very special sock yarn. The slipped stitches help break up pooling so each color has room to shine.

The sample shown is knit with one skein of hand dyed sock yarn, but this pattern is customizable and has been written for a variety of weights, because hand painted yarns come in different sizes!

This pattern is written for a variety of different weight yarns ranging from fingering to worsted weights. Sample shown in Galloping Jester LLC Goldilocks Superwash (80% Merino, 20% Nylon, 400 yd/100g). Knit on US 3 (3.25 mm) needles. See the guide below for more information.

This pattern is for an elegant half circle shawlette worked from the top down. The edging is an adaptation of the Frost Flowers pattern from A Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara Walker. This beautiful semi-circle shawlette can be customized for any weight yarn and can be made larger. The pattern includes directions how to make the stockientte section larger to make a larger shawlette.

The pattern for the edging is both written and charted. The lace pattern is worked on both the right side and the wrong side of the shawl.

This hat was inspired by the fun, bright colors of Baah! Yarns. I first had the idea when playing with the yarns and swatching various stitch patterns. I love this fun bonnet style hat. I think it’s a fresh new take on earflap hats, and I think the braided i-cord ties and pom-pom give it whimsy.

The Matterhorn scarf and cowl feature the same cable chart. Knit as a scarf the chart is worked just once, or knit as a cowl the chart is worked three times. There are two types of cables, and the scarf and cowl can be worn so that the cables go any way. Although the scarf has different patterns on the front and side I find the reverse side to be nice too.

Please note, the cable pattern is charted and there are no line-by-line written directions for the cable chart.

The Miya Shawl is a semi-circular shawl that is knit from one tip to the other. There is a garter stitch border, a stockinette stitch body, and a lace edging. All three are knit simultaneously from tip to tip. The shawl is fairly simple in construction, and the lace section is just difficult enough to make this an interesting knit.

Yarn
A fingering, light fingering, or lace weight yarn can be used for this stole. Animal fibers with a halo are ideal, such as alpaca, angora, and mink blends. Shown in Lotus Yarns Miya (80% Mink, 20% Merino, 10% Silk, 330 yd/50 g), 2 skeins.

Mr. Moostachio is not your average knit toy. At 27” tall he’ll tower over most of your other knits! He loves to be hugged and doesn’t mind being used as a pillow. He brings joy and and a unique mustache mystique that’s unparalleled.

Mr. Moostachio is worked in the round from the top of his head down to his charming bowlegged feet. Worked with the Bagsmith’s unique Merino Bumps Mr. Moostachio will knit up much quicker than any other 27” toy!

Notes
This monster is worked in the round, in one piece from the head. The monster starts with Judy’s Magic Cast On for a seamless head. You could also work the Turkish Cast On if you prefer. You could also work a regular cast on and seam the top of the head.

This pattern was inspired by the beautiful handspun yarn from Fuzzbee Yarns. I loved the slight variation in the thickness of this single ply handspun, and I wanted a stitch pattern that would show off the beauty of the yarn. After trying a slew of different stitch patterns, some simple, some quite complicated, I settled on this lovely drop stitch pattern. It is simple to knit, and looks elegant without being too plain or too ornate.

This shawl is knit from the top down. It is a very simple pattern that looks much more complicated than it really is. It could easily be adapted to make a larger shawl by adding repeats, and you could also easily work it in a DK or lace weight yarn by adjusting the needle size. This is a great simple pattern for highlighting variegated yarns, especially those with long color changes.
